Join us for readings by Stephen Kelman, Joshua Knelman and Meg Wolitzer.
Stephen Kelman presents his debut novel Pigeon English, a spellbinding portrayal of a Ghanaian boy in London balancing on the edge of manhood and of the forces around him that try to shape the way he lives.
After immersing himself in the mysterious world of international art theft for four years, Joshua Knelman presents Hot Art, a fast-paced true-crime story exploring the seedy-underbelly he became so familiar with.
Meg Wolitzer’s latest, The Uncoupling, is a Greek drama-inspired novel about a tight-knit group of men and women in a high school community who are forced to look at their shared history and at their sexual selves in a new light.
